Installing Compustar/Viper Alarm w/no power locks,windows?

Alright. Can i install a CompuSTAR or Viper Alarm. Both Paging ones.. in a car without power windows or locks? this is going in a civic ek hatchback.

You just won't have keyless entry when you disarm the car. It will work, But later you could add power locks if you want to.

run the power lock wires to the door areas... so you don't have to pull ur car apart again...

make sure u insulate the ends...and hide the wires... cause they would just lead straight to ur alarm brain if a theif finds them...
